Thanks very much for the advice Eric. We’ll review our workflow when the deck comes back.

At the moment we’re resyncing the audio to the frame rate converted video clips in the timeline and creating new merged subclips from the chopped up master clips.

This seems to be relatively quick and working well as long as we render the start of the clip to identfy the true first frame of the clip (i.e. the camera cut) before overlaying the frame rate converted master. If we sync up visually without rendering first and marking the cut point, then the clip and all subsequent clips are out of audio sync.

What we’re definitely not doing then is using any 59.94 video in the 23.98 timeline.

Thanks again

Steve

Shooting sync at 24fps (23.98) then slomo at frame rates up to 60fps. Digitised 720p60 (59.94) then using DVCPRO HD Frame Rate converter to convert slomos to 24fps and editing in a 23.98 sequence.

I then want to use the non frame rate converted material from the same tapes shot at 24 (23.98) digitised 59.94 in the 23.98 timeline as this still has the audio I want, unlike the Frame Rate Converted clips.

Hope that’s clearer
